Missed period after Laparoscopy? Pregnant?

I had a laparoscopy procedure done to get rid of endometriosis.  After the surgery I, naturally, bled but only for about a day.  My periods have never followed any kind of 'schedule', but I have noticed the last few months that I would get my period any where from the 22nd and the first week of the following month.  

My surgery was on May 18, 2012.  My Dr. told me not to take my birth control pills for a month to let my system clean itself out, when I got my next period start taking the pills again.  Here's my issue.  My boyfriend and I had sex(we used a condom) on the May 28th.  It is now June 7th and I still have NO PERIOD!  

Is this normal for my period to be so delayed like this after the surgery?  I have NO desire for children at all.  How long should I wait before I try a home pregnancy test?  I'm a bit freaked that I didn't get my period before my surgery, after, and still have yet to have it.  Any suggestions?

I think ur body is just changing due to not only starting meds again but endometriosis can cause all sorts of probs so taking it away can take ur body time to get back to normal... if ur worried then seek advise from gp or get a blood test if u think u might be pregnant. i defo think its meds adjusting :)
